    Hi everyone,

    Just recently got my Acer Aspire 5024WLMI.
    I have a habit of always reinstalling Windows on new computers and this time was no exception.

    So I formatted the harddrive, made new partitions (C: 30GB, for Windows and D: 70GB for my files).
    After I reinstalled Windows I installed drivers for certain items, mostly from http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/as_3020_5020.html
    These are the one's I installed:
    Broadcom Wireless 802.11g 3.100.46.0
    Realtek AC97 Audio Driver 5.10.00.5990
    TI7421 5in1 Card Reader 7.7.0.262
    AMD Athlon64 CPU Driver 1.1.0.18
    Realtek 8139 & 8169 Lan Driver 5.620.1202.2004
    Agere Modem Driver 2.1.47
    Synaptics TouchPad Driver 7.12.2.0
    ATi VGA Driver 8.103-050208a-022509C

    These are the one's I didn't install:
    Launch Manager 1.0.8.3
    Acer eManager 1.0.27.40
    Acer GridVista 2.23.0304

    Now everything works except 3 of the shortcut buttons just below the screen and Fn+F1-F7.
    One function I'd really like to have back is the option to turn off the screen only with Fn+F-something.
    Does anyone know what I'll have to do to get that function back?


    Thank you :)

    Launch Manager is enough.
